Oasis Announce 25th Anniversary Edition of ‘Standing on the Shoulder of Giants' LP In Advance of Reunion Tour
Oasis are prepping a 25th anniversary reissue of their fourth studio album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, which will be released in a pair of limited-edition vinyl versions on Feb. 28.
The fourth album from the Britpop superstars was released in February 2000 and marked a left-turn into more electronic-based psychedelic sound featuring drum loops, electric sitar, Mellotron, synthesizers, backwards guitar and samples layered into their signature heady, Beatles-inspired rock sound on the bull rush opening track 'F****n' In the Bushes' and the swirling 'Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is.' The collection also featured one of their classic acoustic ballads, the single 'Go Let It Out,' as well as singles 'Where Did It All Go Wrong?,' 'Who Feels Love?' and 'Sunday Morning Call.'

Friday's (Feb. 7) announcement came just 147 days (but who's counting?) before formerly battling brothers singer Liam and guitarist/songwriter/occasional singer Noel Gallagher kick off their eagerly anticipated 2025 reunion tour.
The anniversary edition of the album will be issued in silver vinyl and an official store-exclusive blue and purple marble edition on the anniversary of the LP's original release on Feb. 28, 2000. They also teased a new lyric video for 'Go Let It Out,' slated to premiere at 11 a.m. ET on Friday.
A press release announcing the reissue noted that the album marked a new era for the group, with 'Go Let It Out' the first release on the Gallaghers' Big Brother Recordings Ltd. label, established after the sudden shuddering of their former label, Creation Records.
Oasis are slated to kick off their 2025 stadium tour on July 4 with the first of two dates at Cardiff, UK's Principality Stadium, after which they will criss-cross the UK and Ireland before hopping over to North America on August 24 for a show at Rogers Stadium in Toronto. They will hit Chicago, New Jersey and Los Angeles before moving on to Mexico City, South Korea, Japan, Australia and South America, winding down with a Nov. 23 show in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
